Description
Renna Palmira, from New Samarkand Metals on Xinyang designed the Nike as an alternative to the expensive Partisan.
Weapons and Equipment
This armored vehicle focuses on firepower rather than the command and coordination abilities of later Partisan models. By using less-expensive technology, customers who couldn't afford a Partisan still get a solid anti-aircraft platform. Built on a modified support vehicle chassis, a fuel cell engine provides a top speed of 54 km/h while thirteen tons of BAR 9 armor provides protection against most weaponry. Offensively, the Nike carries a pair of Light AC/2s and a pair of LB 5-X ACs with each weapon backed by a two ton ammunition bay. Due to the bulkier nature of some components the Nike weighs 90 tons - ten tons heavier than its inspiration.[1]
